Gender

A character's gender is shown in the top-right corner of the Character information screen, next to the age, by:

• (F) for female
• (M) for male

Gender during Character creation

Gender is selected during the first stage of Character creation.
It affects the process in 2 ways:

1. Female characters have the following difference in starting attributes (base profile), compared to male characters: +2 End, -3 Str, +1 Chr
2. Some occupations are never available for female characters: Friar, Priest, Bishop

Because of the significance of End and Str, female characters are slightly disadvantaged, unless high charisma is important to them.

Gender during game-play

During game-play, the character's gender has very little importance:

• some saints favour female characters or parties including a female character
• there is mention of events where a female character can influence the outcome (which?)
